In sostanza, sembra evidente che l'evolversi della robotica, la sua calata nel quotidiano, stia ponendo domande sempre più pressanti su un futuro ormai molto vicino, rinnovando le questioni del rapporto tra scienza e responsabilità. Dal sito roboethics.org [9]: "Robotics is rapidly becoming one of the leading fields of science and technology, so that very soon humanity is going to coexist with a totally new class of technological artifacts: robots. It will be an event rich in ethical, social and economic problems. 'Roboethics is an applied ethics whose objective is to develop scientific/cultural/technical tools that can be shared by different social groups and believes. These tools aim to promote and encourage the development of Robotics for the advancement of human society and individuals, and to help preventing its misuse against humankind.' (Veruggio, 2002)"
